Sussex Book Arts at Phoenix Gallery Brighton

Had a great time yesterday at 'OFF THE PAGE - An Afternoon of Books' where we appeared in the Red Room at Phoenix. We had a drop-in and were glad to see all the wonderful people who visited us. Amy did really well with her imaginative and curious Invasion of Miniature Books - with one going off to New Zealand before long! She's waiting for some hot photos to come back too.

Here's a few pics of us with Books in Action -

This was Amy's display

Cutting and sticking for adults - !!

Wow - paper-normous activity - making a giant collaged zig zag book

Good fun was had by all..... A good way to start off the month of June, and we had sunshine added. Watch out for the interview that Phoenix did with us - some of the details are on their website.

About Me

Dorry Smallman the book artist is founder of the Sussex Book Art Collective. She felt a Book Art Forum was needed in Sussex. We want to bring all the book art practices together into one group, known as the Sussex Book Art Collective, or SBAC. Artists, academics, book-binders, letter-press printers, papercraft addicts and any book-related artists are all invited to contribute to this new group. Contact us if you would welcome being included in a list of speakers! SBAC wants to be a platform for people to test new work and ideas, with emerging book artists alongside more established practioners. Members will have input into content of meetings and will benefit from a reduction in one-off specialist courses from time to time. Meetings will seek to offer a space for getting together with those who have similar interests in the book arts and inspirational ideas - all in a social atmosphere and for all age groups, men and women. Meetings will be held at roughly 6 to 8 weekly intervals, with a break for refreshments. The format will vary, from speakers, to those with more of a workshop flavour, depending on members' wishes. The illustration for our profile is the work of the brilliant book artist Brian Dettmer.
